I'm right with you. A couple hours ago, I was about ready to pass out from being so tired, but I just finally stopped playing right now. This game is too addicting.

But god damn. Im pissed. I hitted one.. ONE damn grey block. In a 11 min song.. And missed the 30% bonus :(

Edit: lol , i notice it says report sent.. I must have accidently klicked that button :lol
 
Woo, got stealth on iron mode/ninja elite Through The Fire and Flames. One thing I don't understand is that sometimes you get less points for seemingly same combo.
 
I think mono mode still counts blocks as different "colors" based upon the tempo of the song at the time, even if all blocks can match.

Anyway, I decided to try this song on Eraser Elite and got like 126k or something, first try. I kinda lucked out because I got snowstorm on it, which is because the song has a lot of stretches of white blocks (or it did for me; white blocks and the powerups are kind of randomized even with the same song). Might be time to try Dr. Wily again...
 
If you are looking for a really challenging track you have to try Legowelt - Disco Rout.

300+ traffic and with no waves that block your view. And the music is awesome.
please dethrone the bastard that took me off the first place
 
god damn, that dr. wily song is just impossible on eraser elite. No wonder all the scores are ninja mono.

well, ok, it's not technically impossible on eraser elite, but even if I don't do ironmode, I restart if I get an overfill. So it's impossible for me. all I can get is like 33k.
 
oh shit, I really have spent 20 hours this week on audiosurf. Jesus... I didn't even realize it. Probably because I'll play it for like an hour at a time and then quit and come back later.

Nah, the color change in mono mode is purely decorative. If you watch the scores being added, the blocks are always worth the same amount of points.

I should give it another try now that I'm back into the swing of things. I gave it a shot first thing when I got my PC back a couple days ago and failed miserably on EE.
 
^ will do

can someone please try super mario galaxy - wind garden. please try and beat the high score set by sciz
 
Wow this game is fun. I got it because I've been hearing a lot of great things about it and I'm glad I did. And it also sucks up the time too :lol

Man, that song's fun to play. I did awful, though, as I'm not good at Elite yet. (Diseasedyak on the scoreboards, btw)
 
Ow, my clicking finger.

(Ironmode)

That's the best I can do at the moment. I suspect some theoretical run in which I nail both Seeing Red and Butter Ninja as well as most of the white blocks would crush the top score, but pulling it off is another thing entirely. I can manage Seeing Red if I focus on just the red cars, but several dozen attempts later and I still can't manage Butter Ninja.

Defend that yourself, bub. ;p

I'll give it a whirl next time it's up.

Also I am surprised I've logged 18.6 hours on this. There is just no way I could have.. I played the beta too much to really get crazy addicted again, but I seem to find myself loading this every single night for two songs or five.
 
Does anyone else have performance issues with the retail version compared to the beta? I'm only getting an above 40 framerate from the lowest setting when I used to be getting that from the highest one in beta. It's weak.
 
For some reason my copy of Fraps isn't recording audio for AudioSurf. Any ideas? Its working with every other game I have, and I have the latest version.

Are you using those custom drivers for a wired 360 controller? They cause a memory leak with Audiosurf, for whatever reason. Unplug the controller. (happened to me, too)
 
Holy shit! Anyone who has the Macross Plus soundtracks must Audiosurf "Information High" from the Cream PUF album.

Amazing.

I don't play with a 360 controller, but I have Vista 32, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if there was a memory leak.
 
They seem to have changed the way Ninja Mono works. You can no longer spread your wings, but you don't have to shuriken blocks, either. They'll now dissolve over time, just like on medium and easy.

Oh, and:

That's Ironmode, bro.

Sounds like you have Ironmode on, without it you can do both of those things.
 
:lol

I was trying to figure out what it did. The description it gives you of what Ironmode does says that it's 'faster' and kills you when you overfill.

Awesome. I like it much, much more than plain Ninja Mono.
 
Do any of you guys have any tips for Ninja Mono? I can do Ninja Pro and get stealth pretty easily but I ALWAYS hit a few grey blocks on elite.
 
I can't believe I owned myself that hardcore. Damnit! I would have taken second, at least. I held onto the change-all-blocks-to-red block in storage. I had all of the rows filled up and I moved to the lane, and as soon as I released it I ran into one that changed them all to purple.

Mother fucking fail. ;_; That CV remix is really fun to play.

Damn Sciz. o_O lolz

Do either one of you have a link to some more of S.S.H's work?
I can't find a link for it, but S.S.H. also did the FF6 boss music metal version I have.

anyway, I don't think this second guy is going to catch up to me anytime soon:

Sciz, thats insane..You need to do a video!
Heh heh, thanks. I've considered videos before, but no one's asked me until now. Is fraps my best bet?

Can anyone link me to link me to the Gusty wind galaxy file? I really want to try it.
Gimme a few minutes and I'll put it up on RS (and some more SSH).

edit: SSH versions of the SMB overworld theme and Big Blue

edit 2: Wind (Gusty) Garden
 
Fraps should work, though for some reason I don't get any audio on my PC with it (it works fine on other games). Your game might suffer though if you limit the FPS.
 
I decided to start the SSH tour with the one track I've played a few times on, but never did this well on it:

and it's such a crazy rush to play it on any mode in elite, much less ironmode.
